(Jessica’s P.O.V)

The party was in full swing when I arrived. As soon as I entered the house the sound of the music pierced my ears and I was sure that I would be deaf soon. I made my way to the living room hoping to spot Grace or Carter instead I ran into a brick wall , or in this case Luke Butler’s hard chest.

“Wow! You okay?” he steadied me with his hands on my shoulders. I looked up and gave him a smile; he returned it with one of his own devilish grins.

“Thanks, I didn’t see you there,” I said raising my voice so he could hear over the blasting techno music.

“No prob, you here alone?” he asked leaning his head down a bit so I could hear. Luke was a tall guy with short, dirty blond hair and chocolaty brown eyes. We’ve known each other since junior year, but we weren’t really that close.

“Yeah, I was actually looking for Grace. Have you seen her?” he nodded his head and then grabbed my hand. We made our way to the kitchen where I found her and Carter making out on the kitchen table with an audience. Great just what I needed, I looked up sheepishly at Luke and then made my way to the horny couple.

“Okay break it up you two,” I said as I pulled on Carter’s hand to get him off of Grace.

“Hey you made it; I was so sure you were going to bail on us.” Grace commented as she straightened out herself. Luke made his way over to us and stood next to me, Grace arched a brow and I shrugged. I knew what she was thinking, that Luke was my date for the night.

I introduced the guys to each other and then grabbed a beer from the nearby counter. I wasn’t usually a drinker, but tonight I was in a bad mood. Ever since this coffee date with Chace… wait not a date! Why would I even think that? Chace can’t be my boyfriend, he just can’t. And yet here I am daydreaming about him, while I’m at a party surrounded by the hottest guys in our school; but all I wanted was to be with him.

How could I fall for someone I just met a while back? It doesn’t make any sense. Today when he called and asked me out, I was actually filled with joy at the idea of him and me hanging out. And when he told me that we were just friends I was crushed. Here I am falling for this hot guy and I was only a friend to him.

I wanted to confront him about it, ask him if that’s what he saw me as; but I couldn’t. I didn’t want to ruin what relationship we had over a crush.

“Hello earth to Jessica, you okay?” I shook my head out of the daydreaming I was having and looked at Grace.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I answered, giving her a smile.

The guys were talking about something; I wasn’t sure of. They were talking anyways until “Give Me Everything tonight” came on; I saw Grace take Crater’s hand and drag him to the dance floor.

“You wanna dance?” I glanced over at Luke as he extended his hand towards me. I guess I should try and have a good time. I placed my hand in his and we headed to the dance floor.

Two hours later and I could barely move my legs as I staggered to the front porch with Luke by my side.

“Man, I just want to pass out,” he said as he sat down on the steps. The weather tonight was just amazing; there was a slight breeze in the air that cooled our heated skins.

“Yeah, me too,” I whispered taking a seat next to him. He turned his head and smiled down at me. Luke was a really sweet guy, but I kept on thinking about Chace. How much I wanted him to be here, I must be drunker than I thought.

I felt a warm breath against my lips, but before I could react Luke’s lips seized mine in a passionate kiss. I wanted to break away, but it felt so good. I moaned softly and he took that as a sign to deepen the kiss.

Ring Ring…

I pulled away from the kiss immediately when I heard my phone ring. Luke had a slightly dazed look on his face and I just smiled as I glanced at the caller ID.

“Hello,” I answered my voice was a little shaky from all the beers I drank.

“Hey, it’s me... I just wanted to make sure you guys are okay,” Chace said in his all- too sexy voice. I felt a shiver run through me. I looked over at Luke as he drank from his beer bottle; I stood up and moved a little away from him.

“Yeah, we’re finnne,” I slurred, okay maybe not fine.

“Is Carter as drunk as you?” he asked in a harsh voice. Oh God! I’m getting turned on by him.

“Yup,” I said cheerfully.

“Wait there, I’m coming to get you,” he stated and then hung up. I shrugged to myself and made my way into the house, completely ignoring Luke. I needed to find Grace and Carter before they ditch me. I wasn’t strong to face Chace’s fury on my own.

I found them sitting on the couch making out, I separated them from each other and told them what was happening. Carter groaned and then mumbled about something, but I couldn’t make out what he said. We all went outside and waited to meet our doom.

Chace arrived in ten minutes later, he parked his car near the drive way and made his way towards us. And let me tell you the look of angry on his face made him three times as hot as he usually looked.

“Well, this is a nice surprise. I always wanted to pick my drunken brother and his friends up from a party. I guess Santa made an exception to my wish this year and gave it to me early,” he said sarcastically, as he gave each of us a dark look.

“Dude, can you save the lecture for later,” Cater pleaded as he got up from the steps and walked towards the car with Grace by his side. I stood up and walked towards Chace, he turned towards me and arched a brow.

“Sorry I didn’t want you to come and pick us up, but I also didn’t think I should be driving,” I said sheepishly, he gave me a little smile before he placed his hand on my back and gave me a little push in the direction of his car.

“It’s fine, I’m glad I could help,” he reassured as he opened the passenger’s door for me. Carter and Grace were already passed out in the back seat.

Chace got in the car and turned on the engine, the motion of the car gently rocked me to sleep. My sleep was disturbed when the door of the car opened and I almost fell out because I was leaning against it. Strong arms caught me, lifting me up and we started moving. I heard a sound of a door being opened and closed behind me.

But I was completely satisfied with the warmth that I didn’t even bother waking up. I just cracked open my eyes to confirm who was carrying me up the steps. Chace, I thought happily, was holding me in his arms. My eyes closed again and I nuzzled against his neck, beneath my touch I felt him stiffen a bit. I didn’t care, I was drunk therefore I could do stupid things and regret them in the morning.

I felt him place me on a soft mattress and then I was covered with a warm blanket. I wanted to protest, I didn’t want him to go. Yet I couldn’t get my body to do what I wanted, and after a few minutes of battling the urge to sleep; I welcomed the darkness.
